WATER PLANTS IN UNION SQUARE.

No dream of the tropics and such visions far exceed

LATER DISPATCH,

Treasury Oinclais Pleased With tho First
e Days Purchase Of Bonds.
WASHING TON, D. O., Sept. 22.-The re-
cult Of the circular issued to-day by the
Treasury, offering to buy four.and-z-ha!f
and four per csnt bonds st los 10 and
l25 respectively, was awaited With appre.
hensiou by tho Department. Through
the day proposals to sell came in at inter
walls, but they were for email amoun!a, and
1t wss with evident disappointment that
the announcement wss made shortly after
3 o'clock that tho aggregate Of the offers at
the pricea fixed by the DEPARTMENT was
but 1914, 700. Thai the proposition to.pur-
chase the four psr cant bonds at l2j was
not generally regarded a1 an inducensnt
was inferred from tbs small utfarirgs Of
these bande. But it appears that the
temper OF the sellers hsd beon mis-
calculated, Tor latsr Ia the day and
after the frat announcement additional
tenders were received TO the amount OF
s.. .s20,O 900, OF which S5oo.CG0 wore ! and
81, $4,000 four per cent bonds. ibis
raieed the total Of tho days purcha5es to
s., ,404, 700, including S63l 100 four and
one.haN and s., ,Soo.OoO four per cent
bonds. Taking into consideration tbs fact
that the circular was Issued to-day aud
that the public had not fairly had time to
become acquainted with tho terms, the
financial otiicors OF the Treasury are
pleased with the result. It vas doomed
best not to make public to-day the names
Of peraons and firms who sold bondu to
the Government, and it ia probable that
this information will ras be furnished
hereafter. During the day many tale-
grams we're received at the Department
asking whether the bonda can bs olfsred

Nxw YoRK, Sept. 22.-Ths publication

That somebody wanted money and was
willing to deal with the Treasury on terms
favorable to the public account, is evident
from the large Offering OF bonds in re-.
sponsa 10 the Treasury call Of yesterday.
Whether this initiation Of currency, the
legality Of which has been attacked, will
benefit the legitimate trade or merely
promote speculative enterprises and stock
operations in Wall street, is a question on
which there is a strong division OF senti-
ment. as'5 s.5 =,
It is stated on the authority Of Treasury
officials that there was in the Treasury be-
fore the present call $4,000, 900 lesa than
at tho Same time last year, which gives
color to the suggestion that there has been
an effort to lock up money and mako o
n:ringent market. ,:s5&
One trouble with the Wall street end Of
the money market may easily be that it
has not yet become accustomed to tho
new order Of things authorizing banks Of
deposlt in cities having over 1000 in
habitants. The operation Of this law has
taken something from the financial supre-
macy Of New York and introduced into
the field new factors OF Importance. 4 4;

In many cases the mounds, Garth and

designs arc suffering sadly by reason Of
the cultivation Of tho country in which
they aro situated. Many important
mounds have been plowed down, and

towns have been almost ,leveied 70 the

government. ,-tsa.ss Il ~ ,r's,si.,- e.
The second reason for energetic action
Is q rivalry In this work between the
